Sex on a daily basis drains me

Viagra works great for me but sex on a daily basis drains me too much. How can
I get my sperm level to come back faster? How To Increase Sperm Production?

It’s not your sperm you should be worried about. Sperm are little
buggy things that swim around in your testicles and hang out all day
(or something like that, I’m not a scientist ok? :), they don’t give
you energy. It’s your testosterone level, which flows from your
testicles to every part of your body, including your brain, that help
give you energy, libido and clarity of thought.

If you’re testosterone level is low, it may explain why you are having
errection problems in the first place, and it certainly would explain
the low energy that you experience after sex.

Pre-hormone therapy, I felt tired and foggy for a full day after every
time after I ejaculated. Now, I just feel good and have plenty of
energy. Your best bet is to get your doctor to test your testosterone
level. Then, if you want, you can post your results in this forum and
get some direction from the people that come to it.

What medication can increase sperm production?

Is there a medication out there that can increase sperm production in ageing males?
If so what is the name of this medicine? Are there any side effects that could be harmfull?

* Eat foods rich in zinc.

Low zinc levels in men affect sperm motility, sperm quality and sperm counts. Foods rich in zinc include seafood (particularly oysters!), liver, lean cuts of red meat, nuts and grains.

* Take a vitamin E supplement.

Vitamin E protects against free radicals, unstable molecules which damage sperm cells and cause them to become immotile.

* Eat foods rich in selenium.

Selenium scavenges free radicals and is used by the testes to make selenoproteins, a vital protein required in sperm formation.

Well formed sperm are more likely to be motile than sperm with poor morphology.

Foods rich in selenium include eggs, brewer’s yeast, brazil nuts, garlic and seafood.

* Eat foods rich in L-carnitine.

L-carnitine is an amino acid used in the production of sperm, and scientific studies have shown that men increasing their intake of the amino acid improved sperm motility and sperm quality over a period of 4 months. L-carnitine-rich foods include lean cuts of meat and dairy products.

* Take herbs such as maca root and ginger.

Both are non-toxic herbs which have been used by other cultures, for example in

Traditional Chinese Medicine and South American Medicine, to improve male fertility.

They are particularly beneficial for improving sperm motility and are ingredients in FertilPlus.

Low sperm motility does not mean the end of male fertility.

With a bit of time, dietary changes and herbal remedies, it is possible to improve your sperm motility, and produce motile sperm in just 3 months.

My DH’s counts went up considerably by increasing the amount of Vitamin C he consumed–he preferred eating fresh oranges and juice instead of swallowing pills. However, his sperm count was not an issue with us, I only know it went up because we always get a copy of all our records, and we were able to compare to previous cycles. The vit. C was the only change he made to his diet.

Increase sperm count/quality?

Has anyone heard about a way to increase sperm count, quality, etc? I
thought that I heard that vitamins had helped some of you here in this
ng. My RE said that there are no drugs to help increase/improve sperm,
yet I’ve heard conflicting stories from other clinics, so what gives?
Anyone used drugs and had an improvement? Vitamins? Anything else?

Prostatitis or BPH can reduce the sperm count and mobility. The ducts
from the testicles pass through the prostate. If the prostate is
infected the duct can be compressed by the swollen prostate thus
reducing the number of sperm available. Also the prostatic secretion
becomes very thick and changes pH which can lower the mobility. The
infection can also get to the Seminal Vesicles which provide 4/6 of
the seminal fluid. The ducts transporting the sperm are also not
immune to theinfection..

Treatment of prostatitis is difficult. Antibiotics alone have about a
30% cure rate. A technique called prostate drainage seems to
increase the cure rate.

Here is the long list of vitamins and herbs my hubby takes.  These (or the
varicocelectomy) has helped his motility and morphology at least.  (Up from
30% each to 60% motility and 97% morphology.)

The vitamins and herbs he takes are:  multi (without iron but with zinc), 1
mg C, 1000 mg l-arginine, 200 IU E, Bee Pollen and Siberian Ginseng in 500
mg pills, 100 mcg selenium, high potency B-complex, and 250 mg l-carnitine.
His multi vitamins have: 10000 IU beta carotene, 400 IU D, 150 mg C, 100 IU
E, 25 mg B1, 25 mg B2, 25 mg B6, 100 mcg B12, 100 mcg niacinamide, 50 mg
pantothenic acid, 300 mcg biotin, 400 mcg folic acid, 25 mg PABA, 25 mg
choline bitartate, 25 mg inositol, 25 mg calcium, 7.2 mg magnesium, 5 mg
potassium, and 15 mg zinc.

Other than that I’m sure you have already gotten the usual advice that
he should avoid hot baths and wear loose fitting underwear and pants.
Zinc and copper supplements, vitamin E, Saw Palmetto extract might be
worth trying.

Does marijuana increase sperm count?

I’ve heard from multiple people that smoking weed increases your sperm count. Is this true?

Smoking supposedly lowers your sperm count whether it be Mari or normal cigs.

I spoke normal cigs, around 20 a day but upon trying for my first child with my wife we conceived quite quickly so it didnt seem to affect us.

On the other hand bad diets and a whole host of ‘bad living’ habits can also lower the count.

Long-term marijuana use actually decreases your sperm count by quite a bit. That is a fact; look on any marijuana fact sheet. Why do you think people are less prone to violence when they are high? It all has to do with testeserone production.

GNC Mega Man Multi vitamin

Anyone familiar with this product? Do I have to worry about taking this
vitamin and mineral supplement while on the diet?

I use the woman’s “edition” of this vitamin only because my husband picked
it out for me from the beginning. When I first started, I didn’t take any
supplements but found that without them I felt very weak. Not everyone may
experience that but Dr Atkins recommends a vitamin supplement for the diet
so I attribute that weak feeling to skipping the supplements.

No reason at all. I just don’t know that much about the subject. I did call
the 800 number on the bottle and talk to a customer service rep. I told him
I can have no carb and no sugar. He said absolutely no problem.

Life-Flex Gym system

Has anyone had any experience of using the Sears Life Flex Gym system? If
so, how does it compare to alternatives such as the Bowflex in terms of
quality and range of exercises? Is it possible to get results comparable to
those obtainable from going to a health club?

Oh quite far in advance of that! You’ll be lucky to still fit in your
house. I mean the bowflex will get you hyooge but this little miracle will
make you simply gargantuan by simply sitting on it. Its just unholy what
these new machines can do. Where is a priest when you need one? The devil
lives in this mini-miracle! No other method even holds a candle to this.

I was under the impression that the muscular spirit dwelling within its
bowells was defeated by Ahhnold in “end of days” but no, now its back and
walking the earth at Sears ™! The horror, the horror —from the heart
of HYOOOJ-Ness I cry. For if you use this even if for a day, those to who
the muscle clings too fiercely today will seem puny and be humiliated
before the public mind and eyes on the morrow.

You will get out of the Bowflex what you put into it. Very similar to
freeweights(or anything else) in this regard. The Bowflex happens to
hit all the major muscle groups where other machines may not. Do your
homework and make your best choice. This forum will preach freeweights
to you as you will can witness in the responses to your question.

As a general rule if you want to get “fit” the Bowflex is not a good
choice. It’s very similar to nautilus if not the same thing. If you
want to get hyuuuuge then go for freeweights.

O’ let us worship at the “flexular altar” for one day with enough pulling,
tweaking, yanking and bending you shall be like unto the those who dwell
in the magical infomercial kingdom and the goddess “sqwhatt” shall be laid
low on the chalk dusted iron strewn platform floor of perdition!! Verily I
say unto thee, have mercy or we who are strong today shall wail and throw
ashes upon our accursed heads tommorrow for not following the rubber star
of deliverance.

What Protein Does for Your Diet

When working out or taking part in rigorous exercise in order to gain muscle you will need to consume Protein in order to achieve the most from your work out.

Protein is a very important element in health and fitness and if you are looking to gain muscle and burn some serious fat then Protein is the way forward. The usual intake for a healthy diet is about 36grams per 100lb of bodyweight – this keeps your body functioning normally. If you want to increase your muscle and burn extra fat then you will need to double this amount.

When you add more protein to your diet you will see the difference very quickly. Protein increases amino acids in your muscles which means they will build strongly and quickly. It also affects hormones in your body and you will start to burn fat much quicker.

It’s a well known fact that the more muscle you have the more fat you’ll burn – your body will switch from fat storing to fat burning mode if you take in a lot more protein. This is great if you are looking to burn some serious fat and lose weight or if you are looking to get more definition and build up your muscles quickly. Of course too much of any element can affect your body in a variety of different ways. Everyone is different – if you speak to your doctor they will be able to advise you on a safe amount of protein to consume in order to achieve the results you are looking for. A safe assumption is to double the usual in take – so 36grams is the normal intake so increase it to around 60grams and you will see a difference.

You will have more energy – you will also be able to burn fat quickly and you will see your muscles pump up like never before. It’s a safe way to increase your muscle building exercises and you will be able to make the most out of your exercise regime.

Everything You Must Know About Nutrition

Nutrition is an extremely important part of any exercise plan or diet. You need to be sure than you are getting the right nutrients from the right foods. Food is fuel for the body and without it your body will starve and eventually die. You need to make sure that you are intelligent in nutrition before you start any exercise or diet plan.

The Basics
The basics are simple and anyone can learn this and the likelihood is that you’ve already been taught this in school or by being told by someone you know.

There are 5 major food groups; Starchy foods, such as rice, wholewheat pasta, bread and potatoes, Fruit and vegetables, Meat, fish, eggs and beans, Milk and dairy foods and foods containing fat and sugar. These 5 food groups are very important and are what you need to fuel your body. Make sure you get a balanced diet from these food groups and you will be set for a fit and healthy lifestyle.

How much to eat
It really depends on what you want to achieve from your exercising and diet efforts. If you are looking to lose weight then you need to maintain a low calorie intake and high calorie burning exercise. You will probably have to eat around 1200 calories a day and exercise enough to burn off a lot of what you eat so that your body is forced to dip into the reserves – the fat in your body which usually gets stored will be used by your body for energy.
If you are looking to gain weight then you will want a lot of protein as this helps build muscle. You can also eat a lot of protein if you are looking to lose weight as this helps build muscle and the more muscle you have the more fat you’ll burn.

Tips for Stress Busting

Diet and Exercise have a lot to do with stress – if you have a poor diet and don’t get any exercise then your body will almost shut down and you will feel low and have less energy. Exercise is a great way to ensure that your body is fit and healthy, but diet has a lot to do with it as well.

Dieting is a common thing these days and there are thousands of diets on the market – low carb diets such as the Atkins diet, high fibre diets such as the Cabbage Soup Diet and many, many more. You should try and steer clear of these fad diets if you want to see lasting results. Your body will never be healthy if you cut out an entire food group. You should stick to eating a healthy balanced diet at all times and you’ll see the difference.

High fat diets are extremely bad for the body – of course to some of you this is obvious but a lot of people don’t realise that they are eating a high fat diet and some people don’t realise the risks involved; heart disease, fatty liver, stroke and other dangerous diseases are all linked to fatty diets and an unhealthy lifestyle.

To ensure your success in life and your diet and exercise regime you must ensure you are getting enough exercise, drinking plenty of water and eating a consistently healthy balanced diet. This is easier than you would think – as long as you take a note of what you’re eating and choose wisely this can be done simply and easily. You can enjoy chocolate as well – don’t assume that a balanced healthy diet means no fat. Fat is an important part of a balanced diet and you are allows chocolate – it’s just common sense – everything in moderation is fine. One glass of wine not two, a couple of squares of chocolate, not the whole bar! It’s easy and simple and can lead to longer life and a great sense of well being.
